Herd/Reverb

Certainly! Based on your environment variables, you’re trying to use Laravel Herd’s Reverb as your broadcast driver. Here’s a checklist and example setup to ensure everything works when you dispatch an event like AuditCompleted::dispatch($audit);.

1. Check Your .env Configuration

Your environment variables look correct. Make sure you have:

BROADCAST_CONNECTION=reverb

REVERB_APP_ID=1001
REVERB_APP_KEY=laravel-herd
REVERB_APP_SECRET=secret
REVERB_HOST="reverb.herd.test"
REVERB_PORT=443
REVERB_SCHEME=https

VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY="${REVERB_APP_KEY}"
VITE_REVERB_HOST="${REVERB_HOST}"
VITE_REVERB_PORT="${REVERB_PORT}"
VITE_REVERB_SCHEME="${REVERB_SCHEME}"

2. BroadcastServiceProvider

Ensure you have the BroadcastServiceProvider registered in config/app.php (it is by default in Laravel).

3. Event Should Broadcast

Your event should implement ShouldBroadcast. Example:

use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;

class AuditCompleted implements ShouldBroadcast
{
    use InteractsWithSockets;

    public $audit;

    public function __construct($audit)
    {
        $this->audit = $audit;
    }

    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        return new PrivateChannel('audits');
    }
}

4. Broadcasting Config

In config/broadcasting.php, ensure you have the reverb connection:

'reverb' => [
    'driver' => 'reverb',
    'key' => env('REVERB_APP_KEY'),
    'secret' => env('REVERB_APP_SECRET'),
    'app_id' => env('REVERB_APP_ID'),
    'host' => env('REVERB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
    'port' => env('REVERB_PORT', 443),
    'scheme' => env('REVERB_SCHEME', 'https'),
    'options' => [
        'useTLS' => env('REVERB_SCHEME', 'https') === 'https',
    ],
],

5. Front-End Setup

If you’re using Laravel Echo with Vite, in your resources/js/bootstrap.js or similar:

import Echo from 'laravel-echo';

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'reverb',
    key: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY,
    host: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_HOST,
    port: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_PORT,
    scheme: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_SCHEME,
    forceTLS: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_SCHEME === 'https',
});

6. Dispatching the Event

When you run:

AuditCompleted::dispatch($audit);

Make sure the queue worker is running if your event is queued:

php artisan queue:work

7. Testing

• Open your browser’s console and check for any Echo connection errors.
• Make sure the Reverb server is running (Herd should handle this).
• Check storage/logs/laravel.log for any broadcasting errors.

---

Summary:

• Double-check .env and config/broadcasting.php
• Event must implement ShouldBroadcast
• Front-end Echo config must use Vite env variables
• Queue worker must be running if events are queued
